This NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone HDSLR Kit from B&H provides a sound recording solution for film making and video applications. The kit consists of a Rode NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone with Digital Switches and Built-In Rechargeable Battery, a universal shockmount, a windshield for the microphone, a boompole with integrated XLR microphone cable, two angled XLR microphone cables, a low to high impedance matching transformer microphone cable, a neoprene boompole bag for transporting the boompole, and a universal microphone pistol grip. These components enable a wide variety of configurations including run and gun style filming with the microphone mounted on the camera or for use by a dedicated sound operator with either the boompole or handheld with the pistol grip.

Rode NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone with Digital Switches and Built-In Rechargeable Battery
The Rode NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone with Digital Switches and Built-In Rechargeable Battery is designed for ENG, filmmaking, field recording, sound design, and broadcast applications. The microphone builds upon the success of the company’s NTG1 and NTG2 microphones with an updated capsule to deliver broadcast quality sound and digital switching options for versatile field operation.

Designed to be mounted on a boom, a handheld pistol grip, or atop a compact camera for run and gun style filmmaking, the microphone features a super-cardioid directional pickup pattern, a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, a sensitivity of -32 dB re 1 V/Pa, a dynamic range of 119 dB, a signal to noise-ratio of 78 dB SPL, and a maximum SPL of 135 dB from 48V phantom power (4.8 mA current draw) or the internal rechargeable lithium battery.

Along the body of the microphone is a power button with LED indicator as well as three digital switching buttons with LED indicators.

The first button provides a -10 dB pad on the input of the microphone to allow the recording of loud sounds without clipping.

The middle button turns on a 75 Hz high pass filter which is useful for reducing low frequency and infrasonic rumble from HVAC systems indoors or street traffic outdoors from over-powering the recording.

The third button is a high frequency boost. The value of the high frequency boost is in restoring some of the high frequency content that is often lost when a blimp or furry windshield is placed over the microphone. An added benefit is that the high frequency boost switch can help improve the intelligibility of recorded speech, especially useful for filmmaking and broadcast applications.

The NTG4+ includes a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery supplies the microphone with 150 hours of phantom power, which makes the NTG4+ especially desirable for run and gun mounting atop a DSLR or mirrorless camera system that would otherwise be unable to directly provide phantom power to the microphone. It takes approximately two hours to recharge the battery to full capacity using a standard Micro USB cable connected to a portable USB power pack or a USB wall adapter that are commonly used for charging most smartphones.

The microphone comes with an RM5 microphone clip, a foam windshield and a carrying pouch. The microphone also comes with a Micro USB cable.

The Deity from Aputure is a condenser shotgun microphone that delivers broadcast-quality sound for video and film production, in the studio or in the field.

The Deity features a supercardioid polar pattern that provides directivity and minimizes surrounding ambience sounds. Its design preserves the tonal balance between the direct "on-axis" sound and the "off-axis" room sound, making it easier to mix your audio in post-production. The circuitry's low inherent self-noise (12 dB/A-weighted, 24 dB/CCIR) lets you capture natural-sounding speech and dialog.

The Deity Condenser Shotgun Microphone Location Kit from Aputure combines the Deity condenser shotgun microphone with a Rycote Shockmount and a windshield. It can be used to capture broadcast-quality sound for video and film production, in the studio or in the field.

Engineered to withstand the rigors of run-and-gun-style recording, the Deity is machined from solid brass and features a gold-coated PCB board and a moisture-resistant capsule. The Rycote Shockmount with pistol grip provides isolation against handling and cable noise while the Aputure windshield offers an additional layer of protection against wind noise. The kit comes with a waterproof, air-pressure-balanced case to keep your microphone safe during storage or travel. Also included is a mic clip and a foam windscreen.
